Hot on the trail -inductor

[FullTimeNobody]

The marker is showing that I need to go to the pontoon depot, but I don't see anything there. All the guides say the inductor is in the WPS. I killed the controller at wps way before this mission.

Anyone else run into this situation? Why is my marker at the pontoon depot and not the WPS?

Found a solution on Reddit:
Download the developer tools from this link https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/64. Install them by placing the files into the ~mods folder. Next, launch the game and open the console using F10. Then, type the following command into the console: XSpawnItemNearPlayerBySID Inductor. And voilà, you'll receive the Inductor, and the bug will be resolved.

Ran into this issue myself today. Took care of the Controller before even arriving on the island. Really feels like the game doesn't want you to explore the map at all.

had the same issue and with the artifact at start of tutorial.
both could be fixed by exiting game and starting it up again

Only works for the Inductor if you didn't go to the WPS first before going to the shelter. The F10 command line trick did fix it for me.

For me, just Exit to Main Menu and reLoad the file worked for me.

I received this message a while back after reporting the missing inductor:

''Please let me inform you that our developers are aware of the issue you described, and our team is actively monitoring related reports. We understand how this impacts your gameplay experience, and we’re working to ensure it’s addressed in upcoming patches.

Meanwhile, as a workaround, please reach the Pontoon Depot location at the east part of the Wild Island (On South direction from WPS), among the Pontoons there is a backpack where the Inductor can be found!''

Sure enough, there was a backpack with the inductor in it and I can now continue the story again. If you don't feel like downloading a mod to fix this issue, check if this is also in your game. I didn't see anything there the first time I visited the place, but now there was something.
